I really don't understand this whole LBH/passport bro thing. Western countries are rich so even lower class people have the time and money to travel internationally - whereas any time you meet somebody from a poor or third world country abroad they'll almost always be among the top 10% most educated and wealthiest people in their country. Of course most of the Westerners you run into abroad will have normal jobs - insurance agents, 9-5 code monkeys, middle managers, car mechanics, etc - whereas most of the people you meet abroad from places like Laos or Madagascar will be doctors, engineers, lawyers, government workers, etc. If a factory worker in the Netherlands can afford to live like an upper middle class professional in the Philippines, does it really matter that he's not a successful CEO or surgeon "back home?" He's objectively wealthy relative to the average Filipino, and at the end of the day wealth is the most important thing when it comes to your place in society - within the absolute reality of the Philippines, he's 99th percentile.I have a feeling the LBH meme is something perpetuated by first world white women who are bitter about losing their backup options for when Chad pumps and dumps them. Just like men seethe at women for being sexually liberal, women seethe at men for seeking other options.
>>2853564do we need more incel shit like this on /trv/. how many fucking threads do you need?
>>2853564>at the end of the day wealth is the most important thing when it comes to your place in society - within the absolute reality of the Philippines, he's 99th percentile.That's where you're wrong. Money isn't everything and status isn't dictated solely by how rich you are.Go outside once in a while, touch grass
>>2853564I've only heard White leftist females living in Asia use the expression 'LBH'. I usually ignore anything they say by default.'Passport bro' seems more to be about traveling abroad to sleep with women in shitholes desperate for a way out. 'Passport bros' are not expats from my understanding, but maybe I'm wrong.
>>2853595>'Passport bro' seems more to be about traveling abroad to sleep with women in shitholes desperate for a way out.It's black slang for sexpat that really picked up steam during Covid when they used their stimmies and PPP money to go whoring in the DR. Thinking they'd made a novel discovery, they called themselves "passport bros," especially the Red Pill™ vloggers.
>>2853569>>2853582>>2853595>>2853606Problem is my sister called me a chud when I mentioned I've been overseas for 2 years... Returning to the USA seems bad if everyone is just going to look at me that way
>>2853609Why? Were you in the Philippines, Thailand, or Colombia?
>>2853609Nobody cares, mate. Sexpest shit is a cancer.
>>2853606Ah, that makes sense>>2853609>>2853612Who cares? Just do what makes you happy. Even with making double the salary working some shit job, I'd hate to be living in the US. Driving everywhere, eating slop, seeing fat slobs out in public everywhere...
If only that were true. Look at all the changs and jeets shitting up every place they go to. They are definitely not the top 10% educated.
>locals call them LBHNo lol that's just white women on the internet.
>>2853647They get really mad when white guys leave and marry asians
Are 43453 SEA threads not enough?
>>2853569>do we need more incel shit like this on /trv/. how many fucking threads do you need?do we need more whining fucking content police on the slowest board on 4chan. You have freewill, Karenanon. Nobody is compelling you to be here.
>>2853660you freaks have the same conversations in about 10 different threads. it pushes interesting niche stuff off the board.nobody gives a fuck that you're a loser. you have 20 boards to dwell in. slow is good, not everything needs to be tiktok brainrot perpetuating your mental illness
i feel like LBH does apply to some people, specifically weebs/koreaboos/begpackers. i unironically think sexpats are more based because they don't intellectualize or romanticize it, they just want cheap whores and cheap rent. when i see some western guy geomaxxing or sexpatting i don't automatically hate him, but when i see some guy who "moved to japan because the west is like rude and unsafe dude" i just see a pussy who's too weak to defend himself against whatever niggers inhabit his shithole city in the west and too broke and unskilled to cut it in safer, whiter areas - hence LBH. same shit with begpackers, they just wanna be urban hobos without any of the dangers of doing it in the west. usually get in trouble for bringing their western drug habits and aggro behavior wherever they end up too.
>>2853564You're conflating big-spending vacationers with travelbums from Western countries. Travelbums go overseas because it's cheaper. They are often lonely, rootless men with too little motivation to pursue success in their home country, so they get mocked as LBHs by upwardly mobile Asian strivers. Vacationers go overseas because it's exotic, and they don't blink at spending well upwards of $200 per day average for their getaway trips (all expenses counted). This puts them in the 99th percentile of spending power for the Third World countries they visit...but they'll head back to work in a couple weeks, so travel is nothing more than an exercise in conspicuous consumption for them.Respectability matters more than wealth in Asia, desu. Especially if you're foreign and a stranger to everyone. You can't step on people's toes with impunity here.
>>2853569gonna need at least 6 more
>>2853661>PEOPLE SHOULD BE INTERACTING ON THE THREADS I LIKE, NOT TALKING ABOUT THINGS THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT!!What fucking weird mental illness is this? People chilling, chatting about shit, and this freak bursts into the conversation and demands we talk about his "niche" topics he likes so much. Fucking kek. Freak. Lmao
>>2853564>>>/r9k/ and stay there.
I met my wife in Argentina when I spent a year living there as a passport bro, but I had dated several American and French girls prior to that, so I feel I am immune from LBH status. Plus she's white (blonde). If you were an incel in your 30s prior to a trip to SEA then yeah it will seem pathetic to everyone no doubt
>>2853700Look at you using your elbows to try and rise above people so you can look down on them. That's what's pathetic.
>>2853701TTT...
>>2853700The "blonde"
>>2853706if you wouldnt marry that youre gay.
>>2853707>brown eyes>dyed hair>bogged lips4/10 would not bang
>>2853707I'm just poking fun at the LatAm guys. They have this weird sense of superiority about "my brown jungle goblins are better than your brown jungle goblins".
>>2853701Marrying a white argentine over a gook isn't just a difference of degree but also of kind, as it's not racemixing. I have every reason to look down on others that do that>>2853705Third tier toilet?>>2853706A lot of argentines dye their hair blonde (a lot of Italians in general do, including Meloni) but no mine is a natural.
>>2853709It isn't just a meme that argentines are white. In the early 20th century a solid third of the population were Italian immigrants. That was just a few generations ago, so it didn't all vanish up in smoke.>Argentina’s president, Alberto Fernández, has triggered a Twitter storm and a regional race debate with misjudged comments to visiting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of Spain that sought to play up the South American country’s ties with Europe.“The Mexicans came from the Indians, the Brazilians came from the jungle, but we Argentines came from the ships. And they were ships that came from Europe,” Fernández said, referring to the many European migrants who arrived in the country. He later apologized for the comments and said his country’s diversity was something to be proud of.This happened a few years ago from the mouth of the leftist, Peronist PM prior to Millei
>>2853564I don't know who this woman is but she looks like a mutant Winona Ryder
>>2853564I hate strivers. Third world socially insecure "high class" people are always pathetic race traitors seething with resentment against the whites they try so desprstely to emulate (but never will, because you can never escape being a self hating uncle tom).Give me more villagers. Yeah, they're prone to rape and every kind of criminality, but they're so much more fun. I love incels, sexpats, refugee-fraud tourists, career criminals, and the rest. The worst people I've ever met are thoe boring brown faggots who's biggest asperstion is to work at Boeing and max out their 401k.
>>2853855Based and scumbag-pilled
I saw some shit come up online the other day about some couple. Ugly brown man and a hot white woman. Turns out he's a soccer player in the UK, worth a lot of money. All I could thing was, if he was just some guy working in an office in London somewhere, he'd never have this woman.People want to make it about men abusing power, but to me that takes away the agency of women. They are the ones to criticise, not the men who take the sweet piece of ass being offered up.
>>2853966>/trv/ - Travel
>>2853967That's the point of the thread though.>white man with relative wealth picks up women with relative low wealth in her native country = LBH>brown man with relative wealth picks up women with relative low wealth in her native country = migrant success story
>>2853968Do you lot have to make every single board about these kind of topics?
>>2853969>n-no, just keep talking about how white men are losers>SHUT IT DOWN
>>2853970Lol, why would you randomly bring this faggy shit up?It's a fucking travel board you spastic. It's for people with curiosity and a desire to see shit, not for terminally ill shut ins who constantly live in fear of blacks and wimmin.
>>2853971nta but LBH and travel go hand in hand. you literally can't go to any country as a single guy from a western country - let alone as a single white guy - without someone accusing or judging you of LBHing. it's an important issue and the people who propagate it should be disempowered, and the only way to do that is through discussion and pointing out its flawsif you don't understand that then you're probably a childless 35 year old white woman
>>2853983What social media brainrot does to a 'man'. Pathetic.
>>2853984Make sure you freeze your eggs soon sweaty
>>2853983Maybe if you're ugly. What if you're a good looking single white guy?
>>2853991You're basing your world view on what social media grifters say. sad. Try actually traveling.
>>2853564you have a tiny white penis incel lol even.just admit that white women never cared for you and black men emasculated and cucked you
>>2853983All this demotivational talk comes from the real losers who are too afraid to leave behind their familiar setting and venture out into the great unknown, knowing that their success will be entirely dependent on their ability to solve problems & focus on goals. The irony of some pudgy, scruffy McWorker - who has never struck out alone and without help in his entire life - calling a world traveler a loser from his mom's house in Roanake, Virginia. Hahaha. You really think we're dumb enough to fall for your psyop? We deal with challenges every day that would make you screech and pull your hair out in frustration. Dozens of times we pack our bags and step out the door to become temporarily homeless, not knowing where we will spend the next night. One of your deepest fears is merely part of our travel routine.>It is an important issueNo, the carping opinions of NeverTravelled losers like >>2854076 are not relevant or worthy of discussion on a travel board, and it's time we stopped pretending they are.
>>2854080am i supposed to sell the house and the soil i am walking on, where my parents are still living to travel the world?Am i supposed to pay for both my rent and food in SEA while still supporting my parents with paying all the taxes in home country?
Once you get to a certain net worth, you start pretending to be a LBH as to not put a target on your back. Unless you're willing to stick solely to sterile 5-star destinations.Ultimately, giving a fuck about the opinions of strangers in a foreign land (beyond safety concerns) is a waste of time
>>2854159Literally the best comment I've seen on trv for years. I've got under a mil but all in Bitcoin. Carry some Trezor Shamir passphrases with me, others are around the world. I have to behave like a dumbass when the personal finance topic comes up. I'm gonna go get a $1k pm TEFL job soon. Just miss the routine and an apartment with a PS5. I have a B.Ed and a M.Ed but I'm just gonna be an LBH for security and chill.
>>2853647>>2853649This kek. Unironically it is just white women and Indian men who keep pushing this meme because they hate white men and don't want us to be happy. There is a seed of truth to the anti-passport bro thing but that is specific to Colombia and that's because it's a lot of blacks and wiggers who go there. Even there I don't think you would really get hostility as a white gringo desu you just need to worry about women drugging and robbing you which is very real.
posting in an incel thread. daily reminder that money can compensate for being a low value male, but at rates extremely unfavorable to you. The resentment you get is the natural disgust any rational person would get some seeing a low value male like yourself polluting the gene pool (you should be dying alone, and will eventually)
